=> Both my mother and my father work full-time jobs because they are salespeople and business owners respectively. They both commute a long distance to work, leaving their homes quite early every morning and returning very late at night. They've already departed when I get up, and they haven't returned as I go to bed. Additionally, they frequently work overtime and sometimes travel abroad for business. As a result, I'm always left at home alone with a housekeeper with whom I am unfamiliar and unable to discuss or share my difficulties at school. The housekeeper simply handles my meals, homework, and chores. I always feel alone and really want to see my parents at home more often. I wish my mother and my father were able to spend more time taking care of me and staying with me. I wish they spent less time working. I want them to understand my mood. What should I do to deal with this problem?

Current mood: I’m so lonely!

My father is a businessman and my mother is a salesperson, so they are always busy at work. They both work far from home, so they leave home very early in the morning and come home very late in the evening. When I get up they have already left and when I go to bed they haven’t come home yet. My Moreover, they often work late on weekdays for night shift or sometimes go on business trips abroad and even most weekends. Therefore, I'm left alone at home with housemaid or tutor who I am not familiar with and can’t share my problems. They just take care of my meals, study and housework. I feel so lonely and miss my parents a lot.

I wish my parents understood my mood, they could spend less time on their work and spent more time with me. What should I do ?
